A historic village of Tuscan-Romagna, set along the Bidente river, in the province of Forlì-Cesena. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages, when it emerged as a crossing point between the valley and the Apennine passes toward Tuscany. Today it is the gateway to the Casentino Forests National Park: a lively centre, with shops, restaurants and an ancient bridge over the river that lights up warmly every evening.
Santa Sofia is the gateway to the Casentino Forests National Park. Four seasons of nature, sport and culture within easy reach.
An extraordinary feat of engineering in the heart of the Park: 103.5 m high, 33 million m³ of water. A blue lake among the forests, wildlife, and activities all year round.
Guided tours on the lake: one of the most spectacular ways to experience the dam and the forest.
Guided outings through the lake's hidden corners, between nature and the history of the Ridracoli hamlet.
A science museum about water, in an ancient stone building. Guided visits into the dam's tunnels.
When the waterfall comes alive after rain or snowmelt — an unforgettable sight.
Slopes with programmed snowmaking, ski lift, snowboarding, the Le Rondinaie cross-country track (5 km) and night snowshoeing in the forest.
The Calla Pass – Prato alla Penna loop (40 km), among the most beautiful MTB routes in Italy. Secure bike parking.
From the top of the dam to the Ca' di Sopra mountain hut. Routes for all levels up to 1,657 m elevation.
Bidente river: trout in crystal-clear mountain waters.
Guided rides, including at night, along the dam and through the forest.
Golden eagle, falcon, eagle owl. Deer, roe deer, porcupines.
Every Saturday in winter: guided hikes through the Campigna forest.
One of Italy's most important historic forests, on the border between Romagna and Tuscany. Monte Falco (1,657 m), Monte Falterona (1,654 m). Cool and green in summer, snowy and silent in winter. Exceptional wildlife just minutes from Ca Maìna.
Local wildlife and flora:
Original stone staircases, medieval corridors, solid oak doors. The building dates to the 1800s. The comfort is entirely today's.
Santa Sofia and its hamlets come alive especially between summer and early autumn: music, art, food festivals and village fêtes, often just minutes on foot from Ca Maìna.
Dates are indicative — always check official updates from the Municipality of Santa Sofia before planning your visit.
Not just any breakfast. Homemade jams with our own Ca' Maìna label, Mantovana cake, pancakes with maple syrup, cooked eggs, gluten-free products. The breakfast room with its crystal chandelier and exposed stone walls, the lounge with original 19th-century beams and a wood stove. A morning here is one you won't forget.
Tortello sulla lastra, tagliatelle al ragù, porcini mushrooms, game. Local cuisine here is among the best in Italy. Ca Maìna doesn't serve lunch or dinner, but the area has fantastic restaurants we're partnered with — just ask us, we always know where to send you. And after a Ca Maìna breakfast — with Mantovana cake, homemade jams and cooked eggs — the day is already off to a good start.
